I had friends over for a BBQ on Friday in the midst of this oddly summery weather. It was great fun, and I realised it's the first one we've had here in 2 years and we're moving soon. Typical. Now I feel the need to cram in even more! I was sent these cute little milk bottles and paper straws by Dotcomgiftshop and I decided since there's 6 bottles and there were 6 of us it was a good chance to give them a try! I made some Chambord pink lemonade in about 5 minutes. It's the easiest thing ever. I think when not using these bottles for drinks they'd look really sweet with wildflowers in them on the dinner table.

Chambord Pink Lemonade

Ingredients:

- Juice of 3 lemons

- 100g sugar

- 1L water

- 2 shots Chambord Raspberry Liqueur

Method, well er...there is not. Just put it all in a jug and mix it up! Enjoy!

Hey folks! I know it's been a while since I did a fashion post. I work a lot and my typical outfit these days is jeans and a tshirt! I'm heading off to Italy next week with Ali to see two of our friends get married and I cannot wait. I was asked by New Look to share some of my favourite finds from their site. I think I need all of these in my suitcase. I love New Look as I usually find they're one of the few high street stores that has plenty of larger sizes in stock. I'm heading to the Belfast store tomorrow to find some jeans (most comfortable jeans I have ever manged to find) and hopefully high waisted shorts. I don't have the wardrobe to cope with this recent hot weather in the UK let alone in Italy! If you've been reading my blog for a while you probably already know I love to shop in New Look, check out some of my favourite items from there over the years below. This makes me want to do more outfit posts! I need to get better with that!
